To all 'whom't-may' concertarv Be it known that I, IRENE GawLE-y, a citizen ofthe United States, resldin at Houston, in the county of Harris and tate of Texas, have invented certain new and,l
useful Improvementsjn a F lue Cleaner, of
which the followin :is a specification.
This' inventionre ates to new and useful iin )rovementsin a flue cleaner.
ne object of theinvention is `toprovide a flue cleaner whereby fines, chimnley's and the like maybe cleaned by the/suction process.,
Another. object of the inventionis to provide a cleaner of the character described by means of which ues and chimneys may like are confined. e A further feature of the invention resides in the novel type'of brush employed.
Vith the above and other objects 1n view be cleaned .and the soot and ashes and the the invention has' particular relation to cerdevice andv e Figure' 2 shows a Asectional view of the' brush employed. Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals of refer- -sl encev designate similar parts in each of theligures, the'numerall designates the vehicle on whichthe apparatus is mounted. This vehicle maybe an ordinary wagony as shown, or if. desired a motor vehicle, such as a truck, may be ymployed. :Mounted 4on the vehicle there is a'suction fan. 2- of con' ventionaltypel This4 brush may be driven by a motor 3 through the belt A which op `vvcrates over the pulley 5 fixed on vthe fan shaft-"6'. It is obvious that ifi the motor..
vehicle is employed the suction -fan may be operatively connected with and drivenfrom 'the vvehicle mc to r Allexible hose 7 is con'- nectedto the Suction inlet 8 of the suction fan' and the usual retainingsack 9,' of suitable ,iiexible materiel-is applied 't9 the @is .a 4'shaft su lextended t rough the bearings of t e-spiders charge outlet 10of the suction fan. A suitable brush is connected to the free end ofthe hose 7, as 'shown in Figure 1,'and 1n application the brush isflowered into the lue`16 from the top, as illustrated'in F igure 1 and is moved up, and down while the 'suction fan 2 is running. The brush is 'of PATENT o r-lfilca.l
sufficient weight to be moved downby gravity and asjit is moved up and down the chimney it will sweep oil the sootand ashes from the chimney walls, and the dislodged sootand ashes and the like will be sucked in through the funnel 23 and vdelivered into the' sack `9, thus preventing the contaminax tion of the air in the adjacent room or on' the outside -by the distribution of vsoot and: f
ashes through it.
Referring specifically AtoFi re A2, the
.numeral 17 designates the nip e designedl `to be connected to the hose as hereinabove described and the' numeral 18 designates a rotatable brush support which is tubular and on which the brushis mounted.
This support has a'run 'ng fit around the Aend ofthe nipple-17 an is fixed on a cene-L tral shaft 19 by means tof the end'spiders 20,- v20 and thel shaft 1`9 is 4attached to 'a sp1der`21^in the nipple 17. The arms 22 .v
of the spiders 20 are formed of inclined 84.0,
vanes'22fand 'the outerend of the support 18' is :flared forming the funnel 23.H The air current' through the brush against the the line, and it will thus swee out said flue.
l at I claim is -vanes22 will ordinarily be suiclent toro-'l' tate said brush as itis moved up and down "s very ejlfectivelyr In a ilue cleaner a tubular nipple, a tubular brush support rotatably connected toand 1n axial alignment with'said-ni ple, a
brush o n Said support, a spiderl in t e n'iple, spiders in said supportA having central earings and arms forming inclined vane's, ported' by the nipples 4ider and in said brush sup ort.
In testimony w ereof I have signed my name 'to this speciication. at'
were' G AWL'EY'.
